FSU facilities and Jimbo's narrative they are horrible...(Updated)

With Jimbo leaving FSU with a 5-6 record in his last season despite the last 5 recruiting classes all being top 5 classes, one of the narratives he and his agent pushed, especially with the SEC centric ESPN and the SEC Network, was that FSU facilities are to blame.

Thankfully, one ESPN employee has integrity, along with first hand knowledge and pushed back on this BS narrative.

Are FSU facilities done?  No.  Are the perfect?  No.  Did FSU just win a national title in 2013 with them?  Yes.

Is Jimbo Fisher a complete and utter tool?  100%.  Thanks A&M for taking him off FSU's hands.

Guys, I stood in the end zone with Dabo Swinney last year after Clemson had begun its pregame walk thrus. He looked at the brand new massive Jumbotron opposite us and marveled at it. Called it the Jimbo-tron. So yeah really poor facilities at FSU.

Going to say this again. I was a student at Florida in the 1990s. There was a marked gap between what Florida had and what Florida State had -- in the Gators' favor. Jimbo Fisher flipped that on its head. Florida State has plenty and locked down the state.

The facilities are by far the best in the state and right behind Clemson in the ACC. ... He got everything he asked for to modernize and upgrade. ... And let's remember he signed Top 5 recruiting classes every year as a HC.

The administration helped Jimbo get: Indoor practice facility Updated + upgraded stadium Remodeled coaches offices, locker room, meeting space Current plans for a standalone football facility Also was 6th highest paid coach in the country But sure ..

My son had 26 offers and we visited 19 schools on unofficials before coming to FSU. Anyone that blames a lack of recruiting on our facilities hasn’t traveled much. Besides we weren’t coming to FSU to sit in a jacuzzi with PlayStation. A degree and a chance to be great meant more

Bobby Bowden would have won the ACC with a bag of footballs and six tires for conditioning

Just a reminder that Jimbo Fisher is the first coach to have a losing record in a season at FSU in 41 years. Here's what FSU's facilities looked like then:
